How would you describe this?

[Vasu]

I disagree that half empty implies pessimism though, saying that it's half empty shows that there is scope for improvement, room to do more, while half full makes it sound like that's enough.

I just hope it isn't lighter fluid, Andromeda. Then you'd just drink it and say, "Ggrrk!" and keel over.

[lamchopz]

It's half.

The rest are details.

Does it matter?

If someone gave me this glass of water, I'd be pretty pissed.

Who drank my my damn water?!

[Luna]

It's just water.. >.< Why does there have to be some wacky pyscholgical factor that revolves around it... It's things like this that confuse small children..and retarded people such as myself LOL

You know there's ajoke like this somewhere...

Optimist: This glass is half full!
Pessimist: This glass is half empty.
Corporate downsizing agent: Looks like we have twice as much glass as we need here.

Yeah, studies have shown, people that say half full are optimists. People who said half empty are a pessimists. Just something I learned in my health class. We were learning about self-esteem... But whatever...

its like "if you cross your arms you feel insecure" "if you look to the left before you talk you're lying"

i think people are reading too much into little gestures and responses...
